Hey, there. Thanks for stopping by my blog and thanks for the compliments on the yarn. It's actually yarn that I dyed with Kool-Aid a year ago. It's Knit Picks dye-your-own and four different Kool-Aid flavors--sour apple, blue raspberry, cherry, and lemonade. I think if you search my archives--I think it's March 2006, you can see how I dyed it.
Happy Groundhog's Day!
Well, Candlemas was sunny and bright here in the UK so that could spell bad things...and the weathermen keep telling us we are likely to get a really cold spell. We've had such a mild winter so far and the evenings are starting to draw out so we're all thinking about spring but I think late Feb/early March could bring some shocks our way.
ps hope your parcel arrived safely? It was posted over a week ago and even allowing trans-atlantic post should have reached you by now.
